Sock Munkies!
I don't really consider myself a 'consumer', but last Monday afternoon I spent 25 minutes walking around Hamleys trying to buy a sock monkey.
For me, sock monkeys are up there with rubber chickens. They are inherently funny and also something I've wanted for a long time, but never been arsed to buy. However, the reason I will probably never buy a rubber chicken is because they look weird and gross. With sock monkeys, I don't have this problem. It's proabbly the most useless thing I've ever wanted to buy, which suggests to me that a sock monkey is the ideal useless consumer purchase. Ironic then, that you find so many homemade, indie sock monkeys for sale on the Interwebs.
Here is one of my favourite animals. The Red Panda. I drew it about a month ago, I've just been too laaaaaazy to post it.
I also want to purchase a human skull, but I cannot afford one, nor do I need one. I have better things to spend my money on. I've decided that next year, I will (perhaps over the new year) go in search of the Northern Lights. The Aurora! It's going to be rad. I'd love to ring in the 2009 in the most Northern, inhospitable regions of Norway, standing alone in sub-zero temperatures, observing a bizaare celestial phenomenon colour the night sky.
Two months from now, I'm going to be back in Australia with my friends and family for the first time in two years.
Does anyone know a good online sock monkey store?
